<fieldset class="deprecated">
  <legend>Deprecated API</legend>
  <p>In an effort to keep synchronized with router changes in Angular 2, this implementation of the Component Router (ngComponentRouter module)
has been deprecated and will not receive further updates.
We are investigating backporting the Angular 2 Router to Angular 1, but alternatively, use the <a href="api/ngRoute"><code>ngRoute</code></a> module or community developed
projects (e.g. <a href="https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router">ui-router</a>).</p>
